Who Was
André Lambert
Within The History
Of Jávea Arts?
They turned their home into a
pharmacy which served the citizens
of Javea until the 1980s. Then, with
the financial support of the Lambert
family and the Ayuntamiento de
Xàbia, the palace was converted into
an arts school and community artist
exhibition space for the cultural life
of Jávea.
André Lambert Jordán (1884-1967)
was a watercolorist, painter, engraver
and Swiss-French architect who
lived a large part of his life in Javea.
For Lambert, Jávea was a gold mine
of interest and he made many art
works about the place from historical
buildings to the unique landscape.
